hallo again.
i wonder if there is a way to defer the instantiation of an object if
this object depends on the instantiation of another one.
my use case: i'm writing an external that allows to use sqlite3
databases in pd. i have an object called "database" that associates a
file path to an alias. this alias is used by other objects called
"query". by now i'm deferring the binding between the two as far as
possible since i have no control on who is instantiated first when a
patch is loaded. but i could certainly make many improvements if in the
"new method" of the query i was sure that the database object has
already been instantiated. (it's a little more complex than that, but
anyway...)
thanks
m.
